Guest guest Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 " All such miracles have been here to show that these are Swayambhus. But then people started making statues and started worshipping, then making more statues and worshipping. As a result, there were incarnations, other incarnations, as we think that Dattatreya, the primordial master, took incarnations on this Earth and most of them, then tried later on to say that we should not talk of the flower but we should talk about the honey and we have to get to the honey. So they started talking about the Ruh, about the all-pervading power, about Brahmachaitanya, all of them practically talked like that. Not in the beginning I would say, but later on when they found that the people were just busy worshipping any stone, get from there, put some — I mean they became just stone worshippers. So another kind of religion just came in, which just said that we should believe in God Almighty and we should just worship Him as an abstract god. So, this abstraction also turned out to be futile because when you talk about flower you worship the flower and when you talk about the abstract, you just talk,. It's a talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. You cannot get to the honey. So even if you talk of the honey what's the use of talking about it? You have to have it. For that, we have to become the bee and that is why it is important that you have to have your Self Realization. And in every religion whatsoever, even in Islam it is said you have to become a wali. In Christianity it is said you have to be born again. In Buddhism it is said you have to become Buddha, means you should be knowledgeable. In Mahavira's things it is said you must get your Self Realization. Lao Tse has said it. Just you should start from Socrates onward. Of course, we should if forget about Plato and these people because I don't think they had much sense of spirituality. But most of these people have talked about Self Realization. And there's no religion in which they have not talked about Self Realization. Even in the Judaism or when they believe in the coming of the Saviour for their salvation, even they have talked about. So it is all described in Koran. There's a complete Surah describing about 'The Sent One', means the Avatar, means 'The Incarnation'. And also said that you won't believe, you won't accept and all those things. So now, once you are realized souls, then only you start seeing that all this talk is futile. You have to become a realized person. If you get your realization, then only you can get over the superficial illusions and you can go deep into it. All these illusions are there in all the countries, in all the religions and that's why there is a problem and we have seen people suffering from the pangs of fundamentalism.
